How can you not include this guy on any positive list regarding the Intercontinental Championship? I mean, no man is more synonymous with the Intercontinental Title than The Bad Guy. One of the greatest superstars to never have held a World Title in WWF/WWE, Ramon made up for that deficit by proudly holding the Intercontinental Title four-times and making it feel as important as the WWF Championship.

His first title win in 1993 produced one of the greatest feuds for the title between him and Shawn Michaels. Their Ladder Match for the title at WrestleMania X was the first WWE match to ever get a 5-star rating and is considered an era ushering match. After successfully tackling Michaels' challenge, he dropped the belt to his bodyguard Diesel. Razor continued to feud with the two throughout the year and won the title back at Summerslam 1995.

Throughout the first half of 1995, Ramon was embroiled in a memorable feud with Jeff Jarrett and the two were involved in 5 title changes during that period, giving Ramon another title reign. Ramon's last title reign came in late 1995, and he lost the title merely 3 months later to Goldust in January 1996. Combining his then record 4-reigns, Ramon was the holder of the title for a good 438 days over a period of just 30 months.
